Crawling through the gloomy atmospheres of Black, Death and Funeral Doom, Half Visible Presence remains shrouded in a mysticism of its own, adorned by melancholy, morbidity and foul scourge.

An underground brutal death metal demo grail finally unearthed after twenty-five years rotting, 20 Buck Spin presents Prelude To Obscurity! Hailing from Wisconsin in the shadow of the Milwaukee Metal Fest, Embalm formed in 1995 while in high school in the era of Ablated Records, Frozen Dawn CD compilations and IllNoiz Death Fest to name a few. Embalm created truly memorable grooves of mid-paced, catchy, and brutal-as-hell Midwest death metal, also including the customary influence of Swedish death metal and even touches of Dissection-style harmony, setting this demo apart from any forced retro nostalgia. Despite staying local, Embalm was a part of a larger network and held their own supporting bands like Rotted, Internal Bleeding and Incantation. While this collection focuses on the masterwork and tragic final demo aptly titled Prelude To Obscurity, sicko freaks will be treated to the literally impossible to obtain first Demo ’95 as well, showing the most evil and grim basement necro recordings that, while primitive and cruel, still hold minimalistic memory of true underground demo cassette culture. Also included in a rare find are the two final live tracks that sadly never made it to the studio, written after Prelude and showing the band’s insane dual vocal / multi-lingual genius for darkness, slam and tortured leads. Painstakingly remastered from original DAT and cassette tapes by Arthur Rizk, the collection includes a massive time capsule booklet of flyers, ephemera, zine reviews, and live photos from the bygone glory days of true brutal death metal! A guidepost for any new band looking for a glimpse of time tested ‘brutal stuff’. A first time co-release between two modern underground titans, 20 Buck Spin and Hospital Productions.

Due to circumstances beyond our reach, we are no longer able to press this release in the form it has existed so far – including the laser etching that was featured on the b-side of the vinyl. We decided to fully re-brand the release with Dávid Glomba with less cryptic optics yet more visceral and eschatologically visions to echo the terrifying call for repentance at the end of times.

In this re-press rather than the etching, the B-side vinyl will include an alternative version of “Purging Tongues”.

Acephalix wakes from five years in morbid repose with a new offering upon the glistening altar of flesh, a devastatingly tormented study on Theothanatology, the idea or belief that God is dead. Within this cerebrum shattering inquiry lies, as always, a primal spewing forth of vicious death metal malignity and bomb-raid hardcore dispersions.

Across a decade and a half lifespan, the evolution of Acephalix into the bludgeoning instrument of discord and dead faith displayed on Theothanatology has never felt so urgent. The crumbling siege-like mentality of modern life leaves no doubt God has left the building and Acephalix adeptly soundtrack the contradictions, atrocity and inner turmoil of such massive loss and decay.

From the opening title track to closer “Atheonomist,” Acephalix is razor-focused on its greatest strengths, commanding the unambiguous sonic pulverizing of a bulldozer over the decimated skull pile of a once thriving civilization. Simultaneously more musically complex and savagely barbaric, Theothanatology heralds a collapse already in motion.

Following Trembling Void’s inaugural demo release which offered up 7 tracks of raw, yet melodic black metal, comes the release of the new arrival’s first full-length offering: ‘The Burning Question’. Carrying on in a parallel approach whilst simultaneously refining it, this concoction of trance inducing litany shows no signs of losing the project's signature edge. Listeners will be served 7 anti-psalms which range in style from 2nd wave mainstays to something completely non genre-bound. It is in these unique moments that ‘The Burning Question’ shines bright. Thematically the album follows a soldier of darkness into the Trembling Void where he seeks an answer to the question of his existence. Futility and despair intertwine throughout this opus of bleak hopelessness. Fans of the burgeoning Canadian black metal scene take note: LP and CD release via Inferna Profundus Records and Cassette by Banner of Blood coming this fall.
